Book Description
This sociopolitical study shows why patriarchy has been the dominant pattern in Algeria, in spite of colonialism, revolutionary war, and the implementation of state socialism after independence. Knauss carefully analyzes Algerian class formation, ideology, and gender relations, and then demonstrates how these factors decisively influenced the persistence of patriarchy as well as the status of women. To further enhance this model historical drama, there are interviews with former President Ahmed Ben Bella, Berber activist Hocine Ait Ahmed, and exiled socialist Mohammed Boudiaf.
Book Description
In 1999, when Serbia attacked the small country of Kosovo, the USS Roosevelt was steaming through the Mediterranean. In a matter of days, thirty pilots-veterans and rookies alike-were about to become the lethal tip of a fast, furious, high-tech knife. And the Black Aces Squadron VF-41-a team of mechanics, technicians, electronic warfare specialists-would plunge their weapon into the heart of the enemy....This extraordinary book takes us into the world of Naval aviation in action: the training, launching, dog-fighting and the feeling of a multi-million dollar F-14A Tomcat pushed literally to its breaking point. From a harrowing account of a pilot's ejection from an exploding plane to the deadly cat-and-mouse games the F-14s played with deadly enemy forces on the ground, BLACK ACES HIGH straps us into the cockpit, hurtles us through SAM-laced night skies, and goes behind the scenes to meet the flesh-and-blood men and women whose skill and courage reinvented warfare-just when we needed it most....

Uncommon look at a frontline naval squadron.......2005-01-03
Former Air Force public affairs officer Robert Wilcox was given a unique opportunity to write about the combat experiences of a frontline naval squadron flying the rapidly retiring F-14 Tomcat. VF-41's time in the Tomcat was usually personified with their shootdown of two Libyan MiGs in the early '80s, but their resurgence in the later '90s earned them strong praise after their conversion to the strike fighter role.
Lots of attention is given to the turnaround that the skipper effected with his squadron after a few years of decline. The turnaround led to the squadron's tasking in the skies over Kosovo against the Serbs in 1999. The development of a new way to fight, and the need to train the newer, junior pilots into lethal warriors while dodging enemy fire takes up the majority of the book, and readers will come to know the members of the squadron well after Wilcox' treatment.
While not as crisply written as Angles of Attack (by a former A-6 attack pilot from Desert Storm, since he was the author), the book is an uncommon opportunity to get a feel for they way that the Navy operates its squadrons, and the challenges that come with added responsibility and rank. Overall, the book makes a strong case for the Navy's ability to train and mold its leaders with a new generation of challenges, while making tis subjects all too human.
Exellent and compeling story.......2004-10-20
This book brings out the dangers to todays military, and also talks about a war that took back seat to less important things. If you want to read a book of valor and courage in the cockpit of a F-14 tomcat you found the right book.
"Lose sight,lose fight.".......2004-07-22
An excellent account of what it is to fly modern fighter bombers such as Tomcats and Hornets in wartime theatres.This book is quite similar to the movie "Top Gun". Following a recent showing of the movie on The History Channel;Ann Medina (sp) interviewed a Top Gun pilot.He said that the movie was very factual.I believe this book is also very factual.As powerful,complicated and expensive that these modern war planes are,they are very difficult to fly and have their limitations.As well as that,they are easily damaged and take a great deal of expensive maintenance.
The men who become Top Guns are the cream of the crop in every way.They are smart,leaders,brave,competitive,excellent physically and at the same time imaginative,free thinkers and extremely disciplined.They know that they can die at any moment but are still able to perform.The teamwork,love, trust, and respect that must exist in order for them to do this work is well described in this book.
WE all owe a great debt of gratitude to these fine men and pilots.
Revealing Account of a Modern Fighter Squadron.......2003-08-25
Black Aces High is an unusual book but a terrific one. Usually books about fighter squadrons give a lot of technical detail about airplanes and how they fight. Well this one does too. But thatýs not the emphasis here. The emphasis is on the flyers, who they are and what they go through in a modern fighter squadron. The Black Aces fly off the USS Roosevelt. Their fighter is the aging F-14 Tomcat, still pound-for-pound one of the greatest fighters ever made. Their assignment was Kosovo, a precurser to Afghanistan and Iraq. We meet them, learn the problems they are facing, and then go to war with them. War is scary and the Aces are full of trepidation. But the core of officers mustered by and including skipper Joey Aucoin leads by example. There is a great group of younger aviators too. This is a war diary. It shows you what really goes on in a navy fighter squadron. Theyýre not all flag-waving heroes. But they get the job done. And its a tough dangerous job. Even the reluctant step up, which is the true definition of a hero. This story is a credit to the fighting men America produces.While there is a lot of shouting about how to do it, they are not going to be denied. The Black Aces subsequently led the bombing in Afghanistan and were later deployed to Iraq. Buffs as well as novices will enjoy this
realistic view - Barry Pitts, So Cal.
tells an important story - just not very well.......2003-08-03
Robert Wilcox follows the aviatiors of VF-41, a navy F-14 fighter squadron, as they learn a new brand of war in the skies over Kosovo in the spring air war of 1999. Though much of "Black Aces" (the title refers to VF-41's nickname) tells the same legends of naval aviation that I've read since about 1987, it does cover an important moment in the history of the F-14. Though the plane is on its way out (the Navy has already begun phasing out the earliest models, with the plane to completely exit operations by 2010), F-14's were given a late-in-life new mission of ground attack, probably meant to fill the gap between the already phased out A-6 Intruder and the not-yet-ready for primetime F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet". Equipped with laser and infra-red sensors, and armed with laser-glide bombs, Tomcat crews - pilots and radar-intercept officers - scour the hilly, forested terrain of the former Yugoslavia for Serb forces. Flying from the USS Roosevelt, Tomcats pass the mouth of the Adriatic (off the "heel" of Italy) and into Kosovo. Unfortunately, not fighting a true war, Serb forces don't attack or hide out in the open before they sweep into Kosovar-Albanian enclaves, forcing the American fliers to rely on their sensors and no-small degree of detective work to locate the enemy. For Tomcat crews, their eventual success is bittersweet: their ability adapting Tomcats to strike roles (for decades, the F-14 was a dedicated interceptor, more singular in that role than F-16 or F-15 fighters that were equipped with ground attack weapons) will do less to earn the aging fighter a reprieve than validate and pave the way for the plane that will replace it. Wilcox doesn't hint much at the "Supre Hornet" and doesn't begin to approach the controversy that the F-14 v. F/A-18E debate has reportedly ignited among naval aviation professionals. (On the last page, Wilcox mentions Super Hornet in glowing words - it's the plane of the future.)
In telling his story, Wilcox follows the planes and pilots of VF-41 - from the "Hinges" (senior pilots) to the "Nuggets" (untested and sometimes not quite proficient new guys). Wilcox reveals the pressures that nearly crush the senior pilots - who must battle the poor weather and the F-14's poor serviceability as much the enemy. He also reveals the faults (and strengths) of the nuggets - at least one of whom appear to be using regulations as an excuse for their less-than-aggressive flying. Wilcox gets very close to his pilots - quoting them almost word for word. You get a sense, as he recalls individual statements - that
there's more going on then even he understands, even if he gets enough to encapsulate some thoughts in brackets. The writing is also embarassingly bad in spots - with Wilcox often summarizing a paragraph or completing a thought with a single-sentence paragraph that makes the book sound less like a history of war than a first-grade reader. Organization could also have been improved - Wilcox starts describing the faults and strengths of a Nugget - only to tangent into another pilot before giving closure to the initial assessment of the first. We also learn fairly late in the story that one of the F-14 pilots had transitioned from the A-6, the vintage carrier-strike jet whose role the F-14 was now trying to fill. You'd think that pilot's experience would have made him a prominent member of the squadron - but not to Wilcox.
"Aces" has the feeling of a rush job. Wilcox accompanied the Roosevelt doubtlessly knowing as much as the rest of us that the 9/11 attacks would reduce the Kosovo war to a blip on the minds of many Americans. He reminds us that the F-14 can be a trying plane or that landing on aircraft carriers at night or in poor weather can be an ordeal rivaling combat, but he doesn't take us inside the minds of those pilots. Wilcox likely thought that he had already done as much to humanize his pilots by showing them lose their temper, miss targets, get chewed out by superiors or by displaying questionably unagressive tendancies for a fighter pilot - and had to "balance" things to stay in the Navy's good graces. The result is that we a get a sense that it's a challenge to fly the F-14, but not
why.

Book Description
“Seeks to demonstrate that Chicanos, precisely because of their long-standing presence in the region, have developed their own images of the Southwest, many of which conflict sharply with Anglo-American views.”—Raymund A. Paredes, University of California, Los Angeles
“A boldly conceived, wide-ranging essay that grapples thoughtfully with complex and subtle issues.”—David J. Weber
A fascinating intellectual history of Hispano self-perception, this book traces the changes in Hispano views of the Southwest from earliest times to the present, particularly since the 1848 signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Book Description
This book is an introduction to the remarkable work of Vaughan Jones and Victor Vassiliev on knot and link invariants and its recent modifications and generalizations, including a mathematical treatment of Jones-Witten invariants. It emphasizes the geometric aspects of the theory and treats topics such as braids, homeomorphisms of surfaces, surgery of 3-manifolds (Kirby calculus), and branched coverings. This attractive geometric material, interesting in itself yet not previously gathered in book form, constitutes the basis of the last two chapters, where the Jones-Witten invariants are constructed via the rigorous skein algebra approach (mainly due to the Saint Petersburg school).
Unlike several recent monographs, where all of these invariants are introduced by using the sophisticated abstract algebra of quantum groups and representation theory, the mathematical prerequisites are minimal in this book. Numerous figures and problems make it suitable as a course text and for self-study.

The greatest person ever lived .......2005-11-20
i really loved this book if i was born around his time i would have been his friend i love how he stood up for his beliefs and went back to school in stuff even though he didn't get to gradulate, but he still lived a great in fun life it was short but he did things with it i'm young but my aunt past away with AIDS and after reading this book it really touch me i was crying because i felt so bad what ryan went though but he didn't let it get to him. He was so strong he got people believing again.
Intrest in school.......2005-10-06
In fifth grade we were introduced to an illness called AIDS. We also learned about a boy named Ryan White. I took an interest to this story because I have an illness called diabetes and have to deal with how different people react and treat me because of it. Just like Ryan and AIDS diabetes is not contagious and there are no know ways to prevent or cure it. I have heard many different reactions when they find out that I have Diabetes. The most commom being "Did you eat too much sugar or something?" Most of the time I just laugh at this and explain that you have no control over getting Diabetes. I took an interest in school that year and by doing so I found myself a role model...Ryan White.
Inspiring with a tear jerker end..........2005-09-10
When I was young I remeber a copy of People magazine that my mom had lying around with Ryan White on the cover. For some reason I always took an interest to him, and his life, and all the article that I could find on him. In high school I remeber reading part of it to do an exta credit project. Finally 2 year out of high school I decided to reread the story of his life. It is amazing how people really are. It really hit home, not living too far from Kokomo, Indiana where he was from, that people in my community would treat people this way. It is also amazing how much determination he had to be who he was and not let anyone or anything get in the way. This book is great!!!! Everyone should read it and put themselves in this families shoes!!
Inspiring.......2004-12-04
I read this book upon entering seventh grade. Ryan's story was so empowering and so honest that I often feel the need just to sit down and read a chapter by random. Everytime I read it I cry. This auto- biography has inspired me to help in the relief and research for AIDS. I have done reports on the disease and Ryan and teachers often comment about how passionate I am about the subject. This book changed the way I veiw life; a treasure that should'nt be wasted. Thank you Ryan.
Touching and simply inspiring.......2004-06-25
Ryan White was born with hemophilia, which means that his blood does not clot the way it is supposed to. Fortunately, there was a new product, Factor VIII, which contained the clotting agents found in blood.
After Ryan took Factor VII repeatedly, he started to get severely sick. His mother brought him to a doctor and found out that he had contracted AIDS through the tainted blood products that he had been given for his hemophilia. He was only thirteen.
He was denied the right to return to school to study as the people of his hometown, Kokomo, did not approve of his disease. He went to court and fought for his right to return to his school. Ryan won the case eventually, but many parents withdrew their children from the school in fear of Ryan's disease.
Although Ryan could return to his studies, the children at his school taunted him and vandalized his locker with vulgarities. Ryan's house was vandalized too; bullets were fired into his house, rocks and bricks were hurled, and people thrashed the White's backyard.
Ryan and his family had enough of it. They moved from Kokomo to Cicero, Indianapolis. With great courage, Ryan began to speak out against the misconceptions about AIDS and called for AIDS sufferers to be treated with equality and compassion. He was very welcomed in his new hometown and was invited by many schools and countries across the country to give talks.
Ryan's last and final trip before he died was to Washington D.C, to take a photo with President Regan and his wife, but the very first thing he did when he arrived was to attend the Home Show with Howie Long.
However, during the next day, April 8 1990, Ryan was admitted to the hospital as he was having trouble breathing. Some visitors, including Elton John, came to visit Ryan. Ryan's mother stepped out to greet them as they arrived. Once they were back into the room, they saw doctors huddled around Ryan and his bed. Ryan was then rushed to the intensive care unit.
Once there, Ryan's doctors laid out the situation for Ryan and his mother; Ryan knew that once he was knocked out me would never wake up again, but he told the doctor to go on with the plans. Ryan told his mother that he was tired of fighting AIDS, then the drugs took effect, and the world lost a wonderful person.
I highly recommend this book to anyone. It is suitable for all ages. It is both heart warming, hopeful, spirited and heart breaking at the same time because it is a true story about people fighting for what they believe in. This true and powerful story about Ryan White will make you think twice about life because it tells you that you can be alive and well one day but you might be gone the next.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent grunt's eye-view of Vietnam, Summer 1969.......2004-06-16
First, this book was published in 1987, not 1984 as one of the other reviewers mentioned. Second, the Marine units (5th and 7th Marine Regiments) in this book were part of the 1st Marine Division not the 3rd Marine Division. Third, this is Nolan's third book, not his first ("Battle for Hue" and "Into Laos, Operation Dewey Canyon II/Lamson 719" were his first two books). I enjoyed this book immensely primarily because I was serving as an 0331 machine gunner with Mike 3/5 during the summer of 1969 and I vividly recall our company actions in Arizona Territory, Que Sons Mountains, Go Noi Island, Liberty Bridge, and Hills 10, 22, 65 . Nolan's description of "The Arizona Territory" in 1969 as the "war's bloodiest arena" is apt as my unit spent many long weeks humping that hideous area and lost many Marines to snipers, booby-traps, incoming, ambushes, and sapper attacks. I appreciate Nolan writing about combat during the Vietnam War that occurred after Tet '68 as many books and media accounts apparently thought the war ceased to exist after 1968. Nolan's motivation to write "about the war as the soldier saw it" and what the "average grunt experienced in Vietnam" is clearly expressed in his writing and I, as one of those summer of '69 "grunts," appreciate his efforts to show us as good Marines and soldiers caught up in a crappy situation who performed as well as any American "grunt" from past wars. I highly recommend this book and all of Nolan's subsequent books about the Vietnam War. Nolan books honor those of us who served as infantrymen in Vietnam at a time when so many others reviled our sacrifices and attempted to dishonor our service through exagerration, hyperbole, and tired cliche.
Regret.......2003-12-22
Ever read a newspaper article to find half of it is taken up by useless information? e.g. "Dr Kenith E. Browner (MBA, BAS, winner of the 2002 SoandSo award, local Environmentalist, Graduated from Northern SS University with honors) says to bundle up this weekend." ... You just can't help to skim past it all.. Which brings me to Death Valley by Keith William Nolan. Half of this book is filled with useless info! Once in a while you get a little hint of a story, but then it jumps back into naming so many battalions, sergeants, lieutenants, soldiers, weapons, equipment, points...etc You just can't visualize anything happening with all of this... well.... I don't know what it is. One thing I'm sure of is that I totally regret setting eyes on this book
UNGAINLY BUT GRIPPING.......2003-09-02
This is William Keith Nolan's first Vietnam War book, published in 1987 when he was in his mid-twenties. Do not expect the smooth writing style that characterizes other Nolan works, such as "Ripcord" and "Into Cambodia." The prose is often choppy and the narrative disjointed, making "Death Valley" a bit of a tough read. Moreover, there are too few maps, and what maps there are do not help the reader much, as he tries to follow the deployment and movement of the various Army and Marine units involved. Nevertheless, Nolan does a fine job of chronicling events, especially when it comes to providing a grunt's eye view of the firefights and ambushes endured by elements of the hapless Americal and 1st Marine Divisions. The NVA were strongly entrenched in tree lines and along ridges, while American units continually and tragically tried to root them out of the Hiep Duc Valley under a boiling sun and in stifling humidity. It gets depressing after awhile, reading how under-strength companies, exhausted and pushed to the limits of human endurance, get cut up again and again by hardcore NVA that know at all times where the Americans are and to where they're headed. All they had to do was lie in wait for just the right moment to open fire. After Tet of '68, North Vietnamese Army tactics shifted from concentrating on ARVN units to inflicting casualties on the Americans. They were playing to the American media and public opinion. There is tremendous heroism here among the citizen-soldiers who did not evade the draft but chose to do their duty. They endured for the sake of their buddies. If there is anything uplifting in the history of the battles described, it is the camaraderie of the soldiers that fought, bled, and died there.
a truly great early study of Vietnam.......1999-03-04
"a truly great early study of Vietnam" is what I said in my first review; the two stars were for the publisher - as we now have access to the battle area and actual NVA participants. In the spirit of Were Were Soldiers Once.. I'd have wished for more....but I do realize that spending weeks in Vietnam was infeasible.. JMK
Factual record of a historical time in the Vietnam war........1999-01-19
Research is accurate and detailed. I was a member of one of the participating units; and it happened as written. Intense and spellbounding book covering a dramatic fight for their lives of Army and Marine Corps units. Marine Corps Vietnam vets will think it should be mandatory reading. Semper Fi
Book Description
The flourishing role of the private sector in security management over the last twenty years has challenged state control of the legitimate use of force. Deborah Avant examines the privatization of security and its impact on the control of force. She describes the growth of private security companies, explains how the industry works, and describes its range of customers--including states, non-government organizations and commercial transnational corporations. Avant also charts the inevitable trade-offs that the market for force imposes on the states, firms and people wishing to control it, and suggests a new way to think about the control of force.
Customer Reviews:
Solid Military Ethics -.......2007-08-22
Private Security Companys exist in the Middle East for one simple reason - The US Army and US Marine Corps ground forces have unreasonable rules of engagement. Ground commanders have the press and JAG looking over their shoulders 24/7. They are forced to be overly careful for fear that one error will end their career or even worse, land them in prison.
The result is saddly that the Army and USMC are not getting the job done in the Middle East. The DOD knows that but the administration wants results, so the Blackwater and firms like Blackwater take on more and more of the ground operations.
The Army and USMC are noble service men and I totally approve of their " Code of Conduct " but this is a nasty war that needs a " nasty " approach.
Avant's book provides a very educational read. I do not agree with several of her views but still, this is a must read for any career military officer.
